The appeals judges, Robert E. Bacharach and Jerome A. Holmes, fast-tracked Utah's appeal, but they said they wouldn't stop the marriages in the meantime, writing that the state would have a tough time proving that letting the marriages go ahead would cause "irreparable harm" or that it had a good shot at winning its appeal.

---

Someone told me that fast-tracking the appeal could mean it will be heard in a matter of weeks, rather than months.

A short time for the 10th should be a few months with no party asking for an extension and then the time for oral augments and the written decisions. Thankfully the request for a stay to the Supreme Court can be decided by Sotomayor who is the Justice assigned to the 10th.

The governor finally quit whining about 'chaos' and advised all the counties to comply with the ruling.

Let's see if they actual do. I'll be surprised.

Congrats, TrekDianna & Mrs TrekDianna

I just read that all counties in Utah will be issuing marriage licenses to all eligible applicants.
Piute County isn't, but that is because the clerk is out of town.

Thanks everyone. It's so nice to be federally recognized. I am so happy for the people of Utah (and all the other states).

lol!

Remember that this is a state that just finished arguing that 'traditional marriage promotes responsible procreation,' so it is small wonder that it might take a good while to follow your line of reasoning.
